What does the Bible say about sin in believers?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers still struggle with sin but can find forgiveness through Jesus Christ by confessing their sins.

1 John 1:8-10 clearly addresses the belief that believers do not sin. It states, 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.' This indicates that even those who are saved still possess a sinful nature. However, the hope for believers lies in the promise that 'if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' This means that while we grapple with sin, we have a mediator in Christ who assures us of ongoing forgiveness.
